Hillary says 2016 not something she expects to do again

ABC News's Barbara Walters lands the Hillary Clinton exit interview from the State Department, in which she says she doesn't intend to campaign in 2016: "I've said I really don't believe that that's something I will do again," she said. "I am so grateful I had the experience of doing it before."

Walters also said on "Good Morning America" that Clinton's husband wants her to run, but that she herself is uncertain. It's unclear if it will be part of her full interview report when it airs — the GMA version was a teaser.

It would not be surprising if Clinton's husband would like to see her run. But Clinton will exit Foggy Bottom — and potentially run for office again — as an independent entity, someone who just ran one of the most important offices in Washington. It's a difference from the campaign she ran four years ago, which was, in many ways, presented as a return to her husband's tenure.

As for whether she ultimately will run, she has moved a bit away from a hard "no," but just a bit.
